SANTA FE — A wandering bull moose was captured in downtown Santa Fe and relocated to a suitable habitat in northern New Mexico, authorities said Tuesday.
State Game and Fish officials and Animal Service Officers for the city said the moose was spotted around 8 a.m. near Fort Marcy Park.
Officers set up a perimeter to protect residents and pedestrians in the park, which is a popular walking area.
The moose was sedated with a tranquilizer dart and loaded onto a trailer before being evaluated by a state Department of Game and Fish veterinarian and determined to be in good health.
Department biologists estimate the moose weighed over 900 pounds and was 4 to 5 years old.

The Moose was here for the Hatch green chilies.
That’s why I prefer 5500 feet in the Four Corners. Hot and dry.
Lotsa cougars here, too. Can't even go into a bar these days.
Well, much like it's governor, NM squirrels aren't too bright. Went to start my truck the other day and heard a kerchunk. Rocky got the ick.
Even the moose know Colorado chile is crap.
There’s a hypo in his butt. Poor moose can’t travel through Espanola without becoming a junkie.
In Montrose, Colorado, the Mexican restaurants idea of chili is Jalapeños and a bottle of Chalupa hot sauce.
I guess I can cross Montrose off my vacation list.
I’m a little surprised...
Although I did see a moose when I was hiking on Sierra Blanca back in 1966 or 1967.
one of my uncles had a problem with moose in northern Arizona
